  • Yield: 5 Servings
20 10 30

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pound beef top round steak, thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces uncooked spaghetti
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 package (10 ounces) fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 1 red chili pepper, seeded and thinly sliced

Directions

  • In a small bowl, mix the first six ingredients. Remove 1/4 cup mixture to a large bowl; add beef and toss to coat. Marinate at room temperature 10 minutes.
  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil until hot. Add half of the beef mixture; stir-fry 1-2 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove from pan. Repeat with an additional 1-1/2 teaspoons oil and remaining beef mixture.
  • Stir-fry water chestnuts and green onions in remaining canola oil 30 seconds. Stir in spinach and remaining hoisin mixture; cook until spinach is wilted. Return beef to pan; heat through.
  • Drain spaghetti; add to beef mixture and toss to combine. Sprinkle with chili pepper. Yield: 5 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

This was delicious! Used round steak and substituted canned baby corn for water chestnuts. I couldn't find a small red chili pepper, so I substituted 1/2 a sliced red bell pepper (cooked with the corn & green onions). The flavor was complex and authentic and this makes an ample 4-5 servings. Will make this again!

I made this last night for my boyfriend and I, and was surprised by the great flavor of the sauce for such a quick recipe. I will definitely be making this dish again; the possibilities for variations on the veggies are endless. Thanks!

Made it for ds and dh and both had seconds and said it was really tasty. The only minor changes I made were that I used sirloin steak, added a sliced red bell pepper along with the onions and water chestnuts, vermicelli instead of spaghetti and a 9 oz. bag of prewashed spinach and didn't chop the spinach.
